- I would like to run a HP ScanJet IIc in the HP-UX 8.0 environment. This
- scanner is connected via a SCSI interface, and is supplied with software
- for either the IBM-PC or the Mac.
-
- Previously, we ran the ScanJet IIp (a.k.a. ScanJet Plus) from the parallel
- interface using the "CharDrv" driver configured with SAM. I find no
- equivalent driver for the SCSI scanner interface (there are plenty of SCSI
- drivers for tapes and disks, though).
-
- The only reference to a device driver in the developer's kit is to a MS-DOS
- driver.
-
- I realize that this may not be a supported product configuration, and am
- willing/able to develop the necessary code myself. At the same time, I
- don't want to re-invent the wheel. Any pointers on how to write a device
- driver such as this would be appreciated (e.g. which manuals should I
- read?).
-
- In summary, I just want some code that I can use to send SCL (Scanner
- Control Language) commands to the scanner. Any help or pointers to achieve
- this is greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance,
